Which Prince songs would u say are the best substitues 4 caffeine, something to wake u up?

I've already got a small list:
Computer Blues
I Would Die 4 U/Baby I'm A Star
Endorphinmachine
P. Control

It's kinda weird with my schedule. Based on my classes, I have to get up at 8:30 only twice a week and I'm up until 2am every night... for some reason, im really tired right now. And I've got 3121 blasting thru my headphones.

every morning on my way to school at 6:30am, i listen to the hits/b sides disk 3. i love all the up beat somgs on this cd, and they deffinatly wake me up because i have to sing along, lol.

sorry, old habit. I seriously thought there was an extra "s" at the end... either it made more sense to me, or a site had a typo.

from 3121- Lolita, Get on the Boat, and Fury always get me dancing in the morning. lucklily i get to school early and no one sees me dancing.

I must be really tired... I felt like I slept thru more than half of 3121...

boy...

I know that Purple Rain [the album, not the song] always wakes me up... and Endorphinmachine kinda thwarts any attempt 4 me to doze off... not always in a good way, thu.

really? wow- u must really be tired. a nap should do the trick. 20 mins. you shouldn't always try to stay awake. i've tried and it doesn't have good results.

tznekbsbfrvr said:

I don't really plan on playing any of those songs I mentioned to wake myself up...

But it got me to thinking... does Prince indulge in caffeine (coffee or tea) himself or does he play music to wake himself up in the morning?

off the top of my head...

Life Can Be So Nice
Lovesexy
Glam Slam
Jack U Off
Uptown
Delirious
Just as Long as We're Together
Baby, I'm a Star

yeah, songs like that

These songs would wake me up because they would make me want to dance:

Return of the Bump Squad
DMSR
Let's Work
Sexy Dancer
Sexual Suicide
Hide the Bone
Partyup
Housequake
Shockadelica

you read my mind, the other day I was thinking what a great song P Control would be to get you goin first thing in the morning, and the other ones you listed are great pick me uppers too!!!

I was even thinking of making a thread about how P Control is a good wake up song for the morning, but I chickened out

Prince sure knows how to start out an album.

Let's Go Crazy's another good example. And during one interview from 2004, they were playing footage from the Musicology tour and Prince was like "I'm just waking up, play that music again"

Before getting to work, I often listen to "Fury" and loud, it is really energizing but it makes me think "I wish I had more time to listen to some other tracks"
Prince' music is bliss, he gives us so much joy *sigh*

All the best, Suzie

I just listened 2 Love on my way back to my dorm... that got me going... but then again, I just had dinner 2.

Love's always been one of my favorite 3121 tracks... it's strong how some sound better while in sequence and some sound better out of it.

Yeah, these tracks are definitely good 4 caffeine substitutes

Let's Go Crazy
Computer Blue
...even Darling Nikki

I googled Computer Blue and found the two-parter from the movie... Darling Nikki just makes me laugh so hard... he's so good at being so bad.

willing & able
endorphinmachine
loose
the max
i like it there
1+1+1=3 (preferably a live version)
possessed
the future
p control
la la la, he he hee

lord, tons of others...

Anx said:

Yeah, I'm sure there are tons more...

as of right now, I don't have access to many of these cuz I don't have the albums... but I suppose I could always copy/paste them for future reference.

P. Control & Endorphinmachine definitely wake me up when I need it... although EM can be a little 2 intense @ times.

delirious!

Batdance. Get the funk up!
